The BBC has been bigging up the funeral of Alex Higgins this morning, and has been trailering this for days now. Now I was sorry that Higgins had died young and throat cancer is a terrible thing, but one has to wonder why the BBC gives so much time to his funeral, turning it into another celeb event. The Dianafication of British culture continues apace and the State Broadcaster plays … Continue reading

Not, say the Tories, with Labour figures heading the regulators” Peter Preston writing in today’s Observer “Paul Farrelly, the Labour MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, had a Commons question for our new culture secretary last week.

BBC interviews someone from the self-loathing “Anti-Zionist Network” during an item “Are we too critical of Israel?” who suggests that we are too soft on Israel during the Sunday Morning programme.

The ex-cabinet minister, who famously charged taxpayers for the cost of watching two pornographic films, is lobbying to become vice-chairman of the BBC Trust.

In a gushing, slobbering, sycophantic piece of Hello style candyfloss on the BBC website Katie Connolly goes all Sylvie Krin over the Clintons and their daughter’s wedding. Moreover, the Clintons are icons of a different, seemingly more youthful time in America’s history – a pre 9/11 era when the country wasn’t weighed down with wars, bulging deficits and billowing oil leaks. Chelsea is a reminder of that time, and people … Continue reading
